Description

This request for information/sources sought is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov/ and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil/ While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by NSWC Crane. 1)MARKET SURVEY - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI): The Government is issuing this RFI announcement as part of a market survey to obtain technical and program related information useful for the conduct of an Expendable Electronic Attack (EEA) Payload Analysis. This effort is intended to examine payloads that have a reasonable potential to meet the performance concept and provide a low cost, EEA Payload capability. Details regarding the content of information sought are cited below and in a classified attachment to be provided upon request. Information herein is based on the best information available at the time of publication, is subject to revision, and is not binding upon the Government. The Government WILL NOT PAY for any information received in response to this RFI nor will the Government compensate respondents for any cost incurred in developing information for, participating in meetings with or engaging in discussions with the Government. 2)RFI Response Intent: The Navy requests data on EEA Payloads at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or greater TRL that meet the minimum requirements listed in Table 1, although EEA Payloads at TRL 5 that can be updated to TRL 6 may be considered. TRL 6 is defined as follows: œThe payload has been demonstrated in a relevant environment . An example of a TRL 6 demonstrated technology would be as follows: Testing a prototype in a high fidelity laboratory environment or in a simulated operational environment. The operational environment is a non-operational captive carriage of a host platform/payload on a tactical jet followed by ejection from the tactical jet and transition of the host platform/payload to an operational state. It is expected that any proposed EEA Payloads will consist of Radio Frequency (RF) up/down conversion, Digital RF Memory (DRFM) based technique generator(s), processors, amplifier(s), and associated software/firmware. Responders may assume that the host platform will provide required receive and transmit antennas. Maximum Volume8 x 4 x 12 cubic inches Maximum weight26 lbs Prime Power 28 volts DC Design Operational Life30 Hours Shelf life15 years Table (1) Minimum EEA Payload Requirements 3)RFI Response Content: The Navy requests the information cited in 3a “ 3d below for EEA Payloads that meet the minimum requirements in Table 1. (a)Maturity: Provide supporting justification for performance and technology maturity, including design approaches, materials, technologies, prior or on-going development of similar sub-systems, and test data. Each of the items in Table (2) should be addressed. A detailed block diagram and state diagram should be provided to assist in understanding Hardware/Software functionality. Table (2) Requested Information (b)Hardware and software components developed at responder ™s expense and/or considered to be proprietary should be identified. (c)Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Cost Estimates & Schedule Estimate: Provide ROM cost estimates for the purchase of a quantity of one (1) AND a quantity of two (2) EEA Payloads at TRL 6 or greater, along with the time period to produce and deliver the subject EEA Payloads. (d)If any payload components are identified at TRL 5, then the proposed solution should describe the following: i.The technologies requiring technical maturation. ii.A schedule estimate of duration and time-phasing required to achieve TRL 6. iii.Cost required to achieve TRL 6, along with the information under 3(c) for the achieved TRL 6 EEA Payload 4)RFI Response Process: The Navy requests interested responders to contact the government for access to the SECRET Capability Document and Security Classification Guide (SCG) which provide amplifying information for this RFI. The Capability Document and SCG will only be sent upon verification of the responder ™s ability to handle secret information.
